CHECKLIST BEFORE RIDING

1. Check your tires for proper air pressure. If you need to inflate them do not
inflate over the recommended air pressure on the side wall.

2. Test your front brake and make sure it stops the trike. If you have any doubts
do not ride and see your dealer. All trikes are equipped with a front brake as
standard equipment and primary stopping system. This also applies to a trike
that may have the coaster brake option. Under no circumstance should the front
brake be removed.

3. Check that the handlebar is tight and that the ends are plugged. Now check
the saddle for tightness.

4. Move the trike forward and back. If you hear or feel any resistance, do not ride.

If you feel that something is not right after performing your check DO NOT RIDE.
Take your trike to your dealer.  

PRECAUTIONS

• A trike does not handle like a bicycle, therefor, you cannot lean into a turn. 
All wheels must be on the ground at all times. Do not make sudden changes 
of direction you could unbalance the trike and have an accident.

• When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to
handling and turning this three wheeler. If you feel insecure, slow down, and pro-
ceed at a slower pace. With practice, you will get comfortable riding and stopping. 

• We recommend that you not ride at night, or at times of reduced visibility. If
you should ride at night or during reduced visibility, you must outfit your trike with
a front white light and a rear red light . Relying solely on reflectors is not ade-
quate protection. Most municipalities require lights for night riding. Your bicycle
dealer can help you in selecting the correct lighting system for your needs.  

• The rear basket is only intended for light storage.  

DO NOT EVER PUT A CHILD OR

PET IN THE BASKET! 

They could be seriously injured by the turning wheel and/or the

moving parts. There is also the risk of the passenger falling out of the basket. 
The trike is made for one person only and the basket is not built to hold a passenger.

¥ Weight capacity is 250 lbs. This trike is built for manual use.
